Cryptography for Developers

Acts as a guide for software developers who must learn and implement cryptography. Introducing the subject of cryptography, this book discusses how to implement large integer arithmetic as required by RSA and ECC public key algorithms, the implementation of symmetric ciphers and other codes and finally, portable coding practices.

---

The only guide for software developers who must learn and implement cryptography safely and cost effectively.

Cryptography for Developers begins with a chapter that introduces the subject of cryptography to the reader. The second chapter discusses how to implement large integer arithmetic as required by RSA and ECC public key algorithms The subsequent chapters discuss the implementation of symmetric ciphers, one-way hashes, message authentication codes, combined authentication and encryption modes, public key cryptography and finally portable coding practices. Each chapter includes in-depth discussion on memory/size/speed performance trade-offs as well as what cryptographic problems are solved with the specific topics at hand.
